I grew a variety of morning glories on an arch in the backyard so I was pretty sure the bees (or random insects) would've pollinated since the blue morning glories wasn't that far from it. One year, I tossed what seeds I had left into the bed with the other morning glories. I saw some blue ones on the arch but never did collect the seeds.<br /><br />I started the blog and tinkered with it. Got about three posts up. I did post about other stuff besides jade plants though. *laughs* I wouldn't be sure what to post about on Jade plants.DragonStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166365391281481870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-35912858348948145762007-01-29T12:52:00.000-06:002007-01-29T12:52:00.000-06:00Good point about the insects and birds I had total...Good point about the insects and birds I had totally forgotten about them when I made this post.<br /><br />Your experience with the Heavenly Blue MGs is interesting. I hadn't thought about the possibility of a stock plant producing weaker seeds after a while. I'll have to do some reading and asking around. Did you think about introducing new seeds of the same plant from a different source?<br /><br />BTW on my other blog I mentioned that you should start a blog of your own. Since you like Jades and they're such popular plants a think a blog about Jades would be a great addition to the blogosphere. Think about it.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-40605462107224605632007-01-29T11:51:00.000-06:002007-01-29T11:51:00.000-06:00I know how that can be.

If she's thrown anything out, it'll be of other reaasons. "They didn't look healthy. They didn't look like they would grow." etc...<br /><br />I'd still be livid because my response would be "But I still wanted to give them a chance!"<br /><br />I used to harvest 'Heavenly Blue Morning Glories' for years and years. I actually started to think of the seeds as something I'd pass down to a child or nephew/niece. "Been growing them for years, I have!" <br /><br />However, the sad thing was, as the years passed, the seeds were growing into weaker and 'stringly' plants. More and more seeds weren't even germinating. I tried other locations but it was always the same. Eventually I just didn't bother collecting the seeds from it anymore.<br /><br />I like your tag line. It makes you stop and think about what seeds can do. Not only can it bring people together in trades but they help a lot in nature, especially the bee in the picture.DragonStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166365391281481870noreply@blogger.com
